I have not been able to send texts using vrbmf1 firmware since it has been released. Everything else works fine.
I have been using aosp ROMs pretty much since they first came out. I have tried everything, besides a TW rom to get it to work.
I always just get pissed and flash back to mb1 and boom, I can text again. Weird stuff. Frustrating because data and signal does seem to be better on MF1!
Over the last few months I have tried redownloading the modems, pulling my sim, full wipe, cache wipe, clearing messaging data, reinstalling my messaging app, and even doing a little dance.
My phone hates vrbmf1. If anyone has an idea, or has ran into this problem before I'd appreciate some help!
bump. anyone have any ideas? would the next step be trying to go back to stock? been so long since i have been on TW i dont even remember how to use odin anymore haha.
i thought the new baseband might fix it but it does the same thing. sometimes texts get out, but most of the time they just hang forever at sending.... i flash back to MB1 and they send right away. on cm11
what am i missing out on by not running the latest firmware?
I have the same problem, it works fine after resetting but after a few days it doesnt work if i text with the country code

My wife's Infuse was running Serendipity VII. She was having some minor problems with it (such as the camera's flash not working consistently) and some apps crashing. So we decided to go with Zeus. Then the problems really started pouring on.
I flashed Zeus without doing a factory reset. I just wiped the cache partition and the Davlik cache. It was OK for a day or two, then it started misbehaving. More crashes, sluggish, when she sent a text message she'd get a "Message not sent" error (so she'd keep trying until she didn't get the error, meanwhile every attempt was actually being sent so people were getting her texts multiple times), Mobile AP would turn itself off (we do pay for the Mobile AP plan with AT&T).
So I did a factory reset/wipe user data, wiped the cache areas, and re-flashed Zeus. Restored everything with Titanium Backup. No change in behavior.
So, I used Odin to flash back to stock UCKD5 (using this). Things were OK for a day or so except that the time was displaying UTC time instead of local time. (I started another thread about that.) Then, the mobile AP started shutting off again, now with a message saying we don't have a Mobile AP plan. But we do. I flashed a new modem (UCKL2) last night hoping that would clear up both issues. It fixed the time problem, but Mobile AP is still saying we don't have a plan. And now she's also getting the "message not sent" error again when sending text messages (although the messages ARE being sent).
Any ideas on what the heck happened and what I could do to get her going again? Using the "Mobile AP" is essential as it is our only home internet connection (no cable or DSL available and we ditched satellite a few months back) and our kids are enrolled in an online school.
Would flashing another ROM clear things up? Maybe try stock again with the "ultimate unbrick" package or the Heimdall one? Or maybe try Zeus again? Or CatyRom?
I reflashed to stock again using ultimate unbrick. (Wiped cache, factory reset, Odin to stock.) Mobile AP gave same errors. Texting seemed fine, but with Mobile AP not working I didn't test it long. Flashed Zeus again (Rooted, installed CWM, wiped cache, factory reset, formatted internal SD, installed the Zeus zip, rebooted and waited about 15 minutes before touching it.)
Mobile AP is fine (for now anyway) but texting is flaky. Some texts go through, but most don't. She just gets an error saying "Message not sent."
Any ideas out there???

Idk..maybe you need and apn change.
Go to settings. Wireless. Apn.
Menu to bring up 2 stock apn.
create a new one. it's around..check my sigs line. After you write it in, menu and save. Select the new apn.
Reboot
Found the APN info in the first link. Thanks! Does the name matter? I noticed it is "AT&T WAP" on my Captivate but "AT&T 310 410" on her Infuse.

no..you can call it what you want.
HeathicusF's 310 410
but just for s&g's, I would call it "AT&T 310 410"
Did it fix your issue?
I haven't made any APN changes yet. She uninstalled GoSMS (which had been restored with TiBu) and reinstalled it from the market. That was a "grasping at straws" solution since the problem was happening in both GoSMS and he stock SMS application. So far, no problems. But there have been other little spans of time with no problems then it would start acting up again. So I'm just keeping an eye on it right now. There are some differences between her APN settings and the ones listed, but I don't want to change anything if it really is working now.
OK she has narrowed it down to a problem with long text messages. Anything over 160 characters will fail. That is why she thought it was flaky and working for a while each time we made a change. She'd send a lot of short "testing" type messages, which would go through and she would think everything was good. Then eventually she would write a long "real" message and it would fail and she would think the problem had "returned". Not having any problems like that before, she never associated the problem with the message length.
Based on some quick research, I think that is a modem problem.
If we can fix this issue, she'll be all good again.

lol..click on my sigs -link #1. Read post #2.
it has to do with a modem ucki3.
She has UCKL2.
EDIT: I misunderstood and thought you were saying the problem was with the UCKI3 modem. Should have looked at that post you pointed me to first. I see now that UCKL2 is the problem and UCKI3 is the solution.

Just did a complete wipe and installed the latest Emancipation release this morning.
When my text messages are a certain length, the sms message fails to send.
When I try to download dialers or themes using the OTA, the downloads are unsuccessful.
Did the lock screen option menu get moved somewhere else from the first release because I dont see it.
Im just wondering if I need to add another APN?
Thanks for the input!

hmmm... i've been cruising the Eman thread all day and no one else seems to have these issues. My first guess would be possible bad download and/or flash. Did u try to flash again?

What length SMS seems to cause an issue? I have not seen any issues with SMS so far, but granted my messages are generally pretty short anyway.
When you try and download the dialers or themes are you using the stock browser? I think there is a known issue with that. Nun had said "Q. I try to download from the ota and I always get "download unsucessful. How do I fix this?
A. Many have stated that trying a browser other than stock will help...Opera, Dolphin, etc should work. If you prefer to use stock...try this: Download Astro File Explorer, open preferences, and scroll to the bottom and select "enable browser downloads"...then ownload like a good boy should!"
I followed his suggestion and had no more troubles trying to download the OTA stuff.
Lock screen stuff is in display settings. Don't remember where it was on the previous build.
Thank you for the info, you pretty much answered all my questions. I had a brain fart on the lock screen- it was under display. I thought it was in the Emancipation OTA previously.
As far as the text messaging, I cant put a finger on the length because sometimes it works... Not sure whats up with that. But I do know that usually long texts do fail and they will go through if i try to resend them a few times...
What browser do you recommend? Is there an agreed upon one that everyone uses?
when I download i use dolphin mini browser...-
i like opera but it doesnt let me download...
about your sms, you check the messages/setting /message center... sometimes its reset when changing roms..
I just use the stock browser. I loaded the Astro File Explorer and everything worked fine.
I know there are better browsers out there but the audio book service I use only works the stock browser and Firefox. I have tried it with Firefox, but it just works better with the stock browser. My commute is about 80 minutes each way; so I would go crazy without my audio books.
I have always used the app "Download All Files" its a super light app that works with all files in any app or browser and then I can just use the stock browser

I'm having a problem sending and recieving MMS, which I had once before ever flashing my infuse. APN settings got changed somehow (probably me). Reset the APN and it was fixed. Problem crept again after flashing Emancipation. Under the available APN types the list I'm given only has:
Internet+MMS
Internet
MMS
I think I'm needing an "supl" option. Am I missing that due to a bad flash and need to redo it. Or is it simply not available o Emanc and need to try a ROM i can edit the APN by typing like CM7?
Thanks

Its official, both my Infuse and my wifes cannot send long text messages. We have to cut them in half for whatever reason. Any ideas?
Also my data is ridiculously slow. Youtube videos are taking upwards of an hour to load on both phones too. This wasnt a problem on Zeus and I was wondering if there are something I should look into? Thanks!
I have the same issue also can't send/receive pics to my ended phone started when I flashed this ROM. Worked great in last.

What modem are you using? I had a similar issue running another ROM. I flashed UCLB3 and it resolved the issue.

Emancipation OTA Problem
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for the awesome community and work that goes on here at XDA. I've been reading through all the forums the last several weeks and learned so much about my new phone (Samsung Infuse 4G). Through all the tutorials, Q&As etc. I have successfully flashed my firmware three different times. Started out with Zeus v6, Aeon and now I'm finally settled on Emancipation1 with the Dark Blue theme. I really like this ROM.
Now my problem/question. For the ROM flash and Dark Blue theme flash I just downloaded the files to my PC and moved them over to the phone. Everything at that point was fine. Everything on my phone works great except for the Emancipation OTA. It worked the first time immediately after the flash (just checking it out), however now whenever I try to use the Emanicaption OTA I get an error on my phone screen that says "Sorry - The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close)
I've tried with wi-fi enabled and disabled. My stock browser works fine and I went ahead and installed Astro File Manager Explorer. I also booted the phone into Recovery Mode and wiped the cache and Davlik cache.
Any ideas on what might be wrong or causing my inability to use the Emancipation OTA? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, the only known solutions when that consistently pops up is a reflash. Something did not take right or is interferring with that working properly. Back it up and reflash.
Thanks. Was hoping you weren't going to say that though
One more simple ?
Does anyone know if the themes and other content available through the EmancipationOTA is available for direct download (say from the server to a PC so it can then be moved to the phone the old fashioned way?)
Nope. All themes go though the OTA.
After odining back to root66 and trying to install PA, I cant make or receive calls or use data. My IMEI is all still there and everything in phone status looks normal to me. Could you guys think of anything? I'm a little nervous. I've also backed up my imei a few different ways including the most recent one.
UPDATE: I just tried to re provision using the dialer code and still nothing.
I'll try odinging back to stock again. And my Imei, Iccid, eveything is still there.
So first things first, I was running Synergy r73 fine for a few days, beautifully even.
Then today out of the blue without changing anything, my phone had some brief freezing issues and then I could no longer send texts or outgoing calls. I am still receiving texts, and my data connections work perfectly, but when I try to send a message I just get a "failed" notification a few seconds later. When trying to call out I just get nothing and then the call ends after 20 seconds or so.
I tried a battery pull, sim reseating, data/cache reset, and I even used ODIN to go back to the stock VRALHD rom. Still having the same problem.
I can't call Verizon support until tomorrow and all the retail stores in the county close on Sundays, so I figured posting here in the meantime couldn't hurt.
I had the same exact issue and had to go all the way back to VRALF2, following the stickied guide, and once I did that I had to dial the reprovision code. I can't remember the code off of the top of my head but it is posted all over the place. I would try that first and if it doesn't work then go all the way back stock. Also get the Phone Info app, open it and go into Device information and on the little drop down box make sure LTE/CDMA/EvDO is selected. Do those two things and see if that doesn't solve the problem, and if not then you may have to go all the way back to the first stock ROM like I did, hopefully you won't though!
Sent by one of my many Anthromorphic Personifications
I checked the radio mode with the phone info app and it's what it should be. I guess I'll be doing another odin flash. Hope it works
EDIT: Going back to the older stock flash didn't work either, even after doing the reprovision code :-/
I guess I'll be making a trip to the store tomorrow
New phone is in and working perfectly. I do miss some of the aspects of the Synergy mod, but now I'm hesitant to re-rom it. Is it even remotely possible that rooting and installing a rom can cause this issue to happen several days after installing?
In phone info make sure it is set to LTE/CDMA/EVDO
Hello everyone,
My phone is currently unable to make or receive phone calls. Outbound calls show "dialing" for about 30 seconds then end. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail. My data and text messages work just fine. I have odined back to stock unrooted and factory reset and the problem persists. Is there anything else I can check or anything else I can do to try to get my phone portion to work?
Thank you for your help.
-Kevin
have you tried flashing stock kernel and stock modem? Is your IMEI still intact? I would try to ODIN flash ICS onto the phone, then let the phone contact Verizon and upgrade itself to JB.
I tried to flash stock roms and still receive the same problem. took it to verizon and they changed some switches on their end but could not fix it.
My advice to you is to wipe/data factory reset from stock recovery, then Odin back to the very first ICS firmware and take all of the OTA's. If the problem is still happening, you might need to take it back to verizion and get a new phone. Just make sure you reset flash counter.
Was there any resolution on this? I'm searching for the answer to the same problem.
This is still a problem for me. I went back to stock then took the OTA for 4.3. Same problem. Funny thing happened. One day i received a phone call out of the blue and it actually connected on my phone. For the next 3 days my phone was working just fine. On the 4th day I could no longer receive or make phone calls again and my phone was back to its broken state.
I also noticed that while my phone is unable to make or receive phone calls the battery drains extremely fast (4 hours on full charge with moderate use). My phone is always running hot as well.
This is no longer just a problem with phone calls but is causing me to charge my phone 4 times a day.
